Do you know what the name of the app on the memory unit was called?

It was always refered to as the 1888 Tool.. that's as much as I know unfortunately....
the same memory unit could be used over and over... so it only initally had to have whatever is on it put on it once, so I never got to see anything more than just the memory unit.

Are you still working with that company and using that tool? Or was it only before the console was released? Do they still use the tool today? For upcoming games being released? Are you able to get your hands on one in the future? Did they 'supervise' you whilst using it? Or was it a free roam sort of tool? I know lots of questions right? That'd be quite a contribution to the scene if that wandered into our field. Cool information too.

No... I am no longer working for the company... but they still use it to this day for all pre-release games... we weren't  so much supervised whilst using the tool, we were put into several teams of 7 ppl, 6 testers and 1 team leader but it was all pretty much free roam and very relaxed atmosphere.

Yes I am, thank you. Not to be mean but we do have this kind of stuff happen a lot, sorry if I upset those who did believe. The information you give is convincing to say the least, a 1888 Tool huh, was it supplied by "Microsoft" or the "Volt" company?

haha I know what you mean about all the my uncles, brothers, cousin works for MS etc... so I understand your initial dis-belief  
The tool itself was supplied by Microsoft... in the building we worked in there were actually 2 MS offices within that were manned by 2 members of the UK Xbox team... and all bugs etc that we found were sent directly to Microsoft for analysis and a bug fix.

I'm hoping someone out there has access to this tool or the ability to recreate it at least... as I believe this could be a huge help in development of future mods, or even just getting a one up on MS, lol

I certainly believe, that MS is getting those Memory Units back from the testers now.
They do understand the importance of new Media Informations and communication ways nowerdays.  Pretty sure, that they read this forum here since its public and even listed by the google robots.

The success of the XBox1 was not at least a result of us as a community beeing faster and more efficient in communication then Microsoft was.

Dear Forum Members: This changed!

When you've got hot information that could contribute in opening up the X360s security structure, make sure you keep such a competitive advantage on a private level and align with scene leaders to develop a concept how we can prevent microsoft to react on such findings.

If we will share everythin in public before we developed a way that is mass-compatible, we will lock ourselfs out of homebrew on a X360!

Indeed, you wouldn't have to 'misplace' it, just you know, for a few hours on a lunch break and hook it up to a mem. card reader... copy etc. bing bang boom. But I doubt there are anybody to do such an act, because that could constitute a job loss(if they found out).

Ok Let's set this straight...

I used to work for a subsidiary of Microshaft called Volt... within that company we were in charge of testing pre-release 360 games using functional test cases set by MS. We used both Development machines and Retail Machines to carry out the test cases.


To do this we had a memory unit which was called the 1888 Tool, which would flash the kernal back to the very first version.

This tool does not work on Dev 360's and only works on retail units.

@Amnitrix - You happy now???

Hi i'm Not happy you are wrong it's for tested the Pre release games so it's a Reviewer KIT and not a Retail console because teh retail console cant run the pre-release look it's like you have buy Ridge racer 7 and when you Update your games not working anymore wtf ? the pre release and beta games cant run on retail if it's not public for signed a games it's not free .

PS : i've 2 Xbox 360 Here 1 Xenon black kernel 4548 with sidecard and 1 XBox Premium never updated  kernel 2.0.1888  so you can belive me you have just see a xbox360 V7 look like the retail but it's not a retail xbox360 after i've see nothing about Memorycard like a recovery or updater on My xbox360 Kernel on The Xenon you can run the BFM bios "Boot From Media Bios Do you remenber Guyz ;=) "  from :
host:// == Network  
cdrom0:// == DVD Drive Roots
FlashFs:// == Xbox360 Nand Files system Roots
harddrive1:// == Fatx Partition E   Roots

but nothing from the storage card device please the next time check before   .
